Chapter 1508 Summation
The Eastern Legion led by Sun Xu and the messengers sent by the Scottish Presbyterian Church arrived in Oxford almost at the same time, boosting the morale of the King's Army.
They have now achieved unprecedented advantages, and victory is almost at your fingertips!
The troops led by Sun Xu, Ruan Youjin and other naval officers were stationed outside Oxford City. Their camps were even more neat than the English militia trained by Sun Chuanting, and both sides were not at the same level.
The officers of the Fourth Fleet met Sun Chuanting who was staying in Oxford City.
"I didn't expect that our support for the king would turn out like this. You and I have never thought about such a situation. It's better to say that human calculations are worse than heaven's calculations." Sun Xu was quite sad when he saw Sun Chuanting, who was the commander of the king's army, he was very sad.
They were just watching the show and wanted to win King Charles, but King Charles was killed, and they had to get involved in this war.
"Things in the world are unpredictable. Who can say the things about life, death, misfortune and fortune is accurate? All we can do is to act according to the opportunity. If Princess Sophia comes to power, she is likely to be biased towards us in terms of policy. We do not know Princess Elizabeth in the Netherlands. Her eldest son Carl is on the side of the London City Council. We cannot be sure whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to let her go to power. We need to choose the possibility that is beneficial to us as much as possible." Sun Chuanting took off his hat. In order to better command part of the King's army, he wore the hat of a local officer.
"After all, Princess Sofia has been exposed to our culture and can communicate better. I support your approach," said Sun Xu.
"However, I was secretly hiding this matter from the back of the army leader. If this matter is passed back to the local area, you must ask for it. I am considering our overall interests." Sun Chuanting was a little worried.
"I will help you write a letter to defend you. If you only interfere with the inheritance of the throne under the name of marriage, I believe the military leader will not blame you." Sun Xu and others said.
"You said it easy, but I need to bear the consequences of the matter."
"Okay, it's time for us to discuss how to march into the city of London."
Sun Chuanting took a group of people to the location of Oxford University, where the Kings Army headquarters was.
Several knights saw Sun Xu, Sun Chuanting and others coming on the stone road of the academy and greeted them respectfully.
"Where are Prince Rupert, Arist and others?" Sun Chuanting asked.
"They are meeting with messengers from Scotland."
"Scots? Are they not our enemies? What are they doing at this time?"
"The Presbyterian Church in Scotland intends to negotiate with us, with the main members and officers in it in negotiations with them."
"Don't you notify me of your negotiations with the Scots?"
"We are planning to find you, but I heard you went outside the city to greet reinforcements, so we think it is not convenient to disturb you."
"Now the three of us are in, is it okay?"
"certainly."
Several knights led Sun Chuanting and the others into a lobby of the academy, where there were Scottish messengers and members of the King's Army sitting on both sides of the long table.
"This is our reinforcements from the East, their officers, and they have 3,000 brave soldiers who will participate in the fight against the murderer for the king. We will defeat the London Parliament and track down the murderer who really murdered the king." Prince Rupert introduced Sun Chuanting and others to the envoy.
The messengers from Scotland were in awe of the infamous Sun Chuanting. In the Battle of Marston Wasteland, he defeated Earl of Levin, who was once the Swedish Field Marshal, causing heavy losses to the Scottish Vow Army. People from the East were described as wizards who called the wind and rain!
They found that the person standing in front of them was just an ordinary middle-aged man, and the only difference between them was their black hair and yellow skin, which surprised them quite.
"You are the legendary Eastern wizard, Sun Chuanting who can call the wind and rain?" The Scottish messenger cast a curious look.
"I am Sun Chuanting, but I don't want to call you... Prince Rupert, what conditions do they plan to negotiate?" Sun Chuanting asked.
"Their conditions are very simple. Their Scottish army can stay at the border and stop participating in our civil war in England. At the same time, they can even support Princess Sophia after we win to become the common queen of England and Scotland, provided that we cannot hold them accountable for the war after the war, and allow their freedom of faith to continue to repay the debts owed by Charles I of the owed." Prince Rupert said.
"They are about to be defeated, and they dare to make so many demands. If they still want to repay the compensation to the royal family, I don't think they have tried to lose." Sun Chuanting was dissatisfied with the Scots.
The royal family still owed 400,000 pounds of loans from Chinese merchants, and also promised to pay the military expenses of the 3,000 people who participated in the battle. Before the royal family repayed them these expenses, Sun Chuanting did not want the royal family to owe Scottish military expenses. After all, Charles I used the loans from Chinese merchants to repay the lack of compensation for the Vowed Army to Scotland. Now after Charles I was killed, the royal family was in a financial crisis. It is hard to say whether it could repay the loan of 400,000 pounds, and there was no extra money to continue to pay the compensation for the Vowed Army.
The Scottish envoy was shocked when he heard this. The other party wanted to refute Charles I's promise to compensate them for the 300,000 pounds of compensation! That huge sum was only a part of the compensation!
"The Armistice Treaty signed by Scotland and England has the signature and stamp of the king himself. According to the treaty, we should compensate us 300,000 pounds. Now the king has only compensated 100,000 pounds, and there are still 200,000 pounds of compensation that have not been repaid. We in Scotland should have the right to recover this compensation." The Scottish envoy said.
"The Scottish Vow Army and the rebellion of the City of London are now sinners from England and Scotland. Even if you want to withdraw from the war, it is not that you have the final say, but that we have the final say." Chief Military Officer Astley almost held the same attitude as Sun Chuanting at this time.
"Are you not afraid that we will continue to help the London Parliament fight? In that way, even if you win, you will suffer heavy losses. We have 20,000 troops in our pledge!" The Scottish envoy threatened.
"If the Vowed Army wants to continue to support the London Parliament, then you can continue. We can tell you bluntly that we are about to attack the City of London and will launch a final offensive against you. If the Scots still stand on the side of the London Parliament ignorantly, they will inevitably be hit by destruction." Prince Rupert, Astley, and Sun Chuanting were not afraid of the threat of Scottish envoys to advance and retreat.
